Text not found in error

Hello Fred,

how long is the timeout for text match action? Is there a chance that text does not appear in defined timeframe? Let's say that action timeout is set to default 30 seconds. If text appears after 31 seconds, action fails but before final screenshot is taken, text is there so it's included in the screenshot. Can you try to increase action timeout to see if it helps?

Hi jiri.tomek;

We had another 'text not found' error occur last evening.  I passed your suggestion along to the t/a script guy.  He inserted a 30 second delay ahead of this step earlier today and we'll be keeping a close eye on it to see if it has the desired effect.  So far, so good.

Thanks...Fred

Hello Fred,

you can also just increase timeout of Text Match action instead of adding extra delay before. Delay action can skew durations while increasing action timeout for text match can't.

Hi Jiri;

This insertion of a 'delay' prior to the text match does appear to have resolved the false positive.  The Text Match timeout sounds like a better method for the reasons you stated.  We'll try that too and expect the same positive result.  I'll post our findings.

Thnx!...Fred
